Someone needs to make a hair appointment for Donald Trump. I suggest calling the Squirrel Tail Salon which is located in a remote detachment of Area 51.

The cheeky red UFO spotted hovering atop The Donald's melon is poised to light up like a truck stop diesel sign, then dart around to town hall meetings to scare the piss out of 2012 presidential voters.

From one pimp to another...Keep bankin that scrilla and after the show, come by my dressin room. I got a couple of 19 year-olds in there and some sticky icky icky. I'll get you so high, you'll fire yourself and put my name on them muthafuckin towers.

These two mature American Bald Eagles have been partners since the winter of 2007-08. The female's markings indicated she was about 4 years old when the two became mates. The pair have hatched and fledged:

2 eaglets in 2008;

3 in 2009; and

3 more in 2010.

Since the first egg of this year was laid in February, the streaming video of the Eagles has been viewed by 11 million people from 130 countries. At the time of this post, there are two eaglets, and one unhatched egg. The third egg is expected to hatch any time.

Daughter:

Why is this so interesting to watch?

Me:

It's meditative. And I learned that eagles yawn.

The Decorah Eagles nest in a cottonwood tree near the Decorah Fish Hatchery. The nest, resting 80 feet above ground, is 5-6 feet across and about the same in depth.

The American Bald Eagle has become emblematic of US military aggression around the world. Yet the over-reaching wars, and gratuitous nation-building carried out by the US government, along with the cacophony of small-minded, patriotic loud-mouths in the US, WILL NOT not taint my awe for this majestic bird.
